Forecasts

Scott's Legacy (11/10), Mariole (7/4), Plan De Stan (11/2), Red Metal (8/1), Twenties Icon (10/1), Silvereen (11/1), Simply Dashing (14/1), Upton's Mighty Oak (16/1), Millady (16/1), Cribbins (16/1), Oceanides (25/1), Monsieur Fernand (28/1), Roi Des Diamants (66/1), Receipt (80/1)

SCOTT'S LEGACY is most appealing of the newcomers on paper and gets the vote before any betting clues. Twenties Icon made an encouraging debut at Wincanton and can improve, while Millady is another debutante to note.
